The Orioles had to win tonight in order to split the series with the Indians. But it just wasn’t in the cards. Kevin Gausman and Carlos Carrasco put on a real pitcher’s duel, but in the end Carrasco was a bit better and the Indians were able to hold on to a 2-1 win.
Against the Rays in his career, Gausman was 5-5 with a 3.57 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 76 strikeouts in 70.2 innings. In his last start against Detroit, Gausman broke out a new windup delivery where he brings his hands over his head.
